Janus releases Nokē Infinitē Bluetooth & NFC, wireless smart lock. April 6, 2026 Janus International Group, a leading global manufacturer and provider of turnkey self-storage, commercial and industrial building solutions, announced the addition of Nokē Infinitē, an on-door, dual technology, smart locking system that is the latest addition in the award-winning line of Nokē Smart Entry products. Nokē Infinitē combines the robust features of Bluetooth with the power harvesting functionality of near-field communication (NFC), making it the first and only battery-powered, connected smart lock for self-storage that can be accessed by tenants via Bluetooth and NFC, even after the battery is beyond its five-year, guaranteed life. This next-generation smart lock is optimized with a superior antenna that is four times stronger than previous Nokē battery-powered products, draws 50% less power when unlocked, and is designed and optimized for Janus International's award-winning doors in both new construction and retrofit applications. Nokē Infinitē provides an enhanced customer experience while giving self-storage owner-operators the peace of mind that comes with knowing that the facility's security is maximized. Main Benefits of Nokē Infinitē: * The only self-storage smart lock to provide tenant access via Bluetooth & NFC * On-door, intuitively designed smart lock that can be manufactured and shipped pre-installed on Janus roll-up and swing doors * Beveled lock body ensures the lock clears the door header without modifying Janus doors * Five-year battery life, with continued access via NFC even after the battery has reached end of life * Premier warranties: five-year battery warranty and three-year hardware warranty included * Four times stronger signal strength than previous versions, reducing installation cost and ensuring more consistent connectivity * Up to 50% faster to install in the field than other battery-powered smart locks * Robust manager mobile app, improving facility operation * Customer-friendly mobile app for ease of access and peace of mind for tenants "We are pleased to announce the launch of our latest innovation, Nokē Infinitē - a reliable, scalable, on-door, wireless smart locking solution designed specifically for the self-storage industry," said Ramey Jackson, Chief Executive Officer.
